Wonderful family stay

We didnt know how perfect the place would be, but it had everything for a family stay. Movies and toys for children and games. A great kitchen. The outside shower worked great for a 3rd shower. The outside deck was covered and big. And even though it is 2nd street from beach you can still see the ocean some and deffinietly hear it. The place is clean and very roomy and comfortable for family lounging or if you need an air bed for a surprise family member. They even have an extra matress if needed in the bunk room. The neighborhood was quiet. The beach is tourist friendly too with plenty of beach access and even gazebos to sit on. We could not have been more pleased. The owners were easy to get in touch with and there was plenty of linen and towels and paper products and the friendly extras in case you forgot salt and pepper etc. We would deffinitely stay there again!!

Perfect family vacation

My family of 5 had a perfect summer family vacation. It was a very short walk to the beach. The beds were very comfortable. My kids enjoyed the movies and toys included. The owner responded immediately with the couple of questions I had. Highly recommend. We hope to return here in the future!

Quiet get away

The property is clean, nicely decorated and perfect for kids and adults alike. The porch was one of our favorite places to hang out. Loved having coffee on the porch and listening to the ocean. They provided games for the kids, a wagon, beach chairs and umbrella and tons of beach towels. The beach is so quiet and very family friendly. It is one block to the beach so we just walked there. This place is a gem and we hope to be back. Hosts are AMAZING. We noticed that the beach umbrella had been left broken and when we told them they drove over with a new sunshade that day! Lovely home and lovely people.

Wonderful place near beach access

Our stay was wonderful. The house was as described in the listing. The walk to the beach was very short! We had looked on the map and were pleasantly surprised by how short the walk was. We had expected to walk a bit farther. The wagon that’s provided to carry beach equipment to/ from the beach made the trip even easier! We loved our stay and would return!

More than expected!

This place was just what we needed for the getaway my colleagues and I were looking for! It’s even closer to the beach than expected, a short walk from one of the few bars on topsail and close to the bridge/access to stores, etc. There were great accommodations inside with everything we needed (coffee pot, cooking utensils, extra beds etc) and not to mention, it felt very clean and inviting. The hosts were communicative after a bad storm that knocked out the wifi which I appreciated. I would definitely rent this location again!

Perfect family getaway

Another great family vacation in the books, Topsail never disappoints! The house is in a great neighborhood and close to a beautiful beach. Anything that you should need from kitchen amenities to fun in the sun, makes this a great home away from home.

Perfect house for a family

House is small but very cozy and clean. Inside is renovated and kept in a good condition. The owner had plenty of coffee, cleaning products and laundry detergent which made it easy to keep the area clean. The owner let us use beach chairs, beach toys and boards which was so nice! There are movies, toys and games for kids in the house and my kids loved it. House is located block away from the beach and I had no problem walking with my kids. The owner is easy to deal with and very responsive. We had great experience and will go back!

Everything You Need

This place was just what we needed and we would definitely stay here again. We usually stay in S Topsail but we really like the quiet neighborhood and the short bike ride to Surf City. The layout of the house was great and I really liked the 2 private bathrooms.

Loved our trip and stay!

Really enjoyed the location, deck and home. Came across some roofing nails on the ground by the trash cans (recent work) but nothing a magnet sweeper can’t take care of. Interior was great. Full size bed was a bit too small for my wife and I, but we really enjoyed our time!

Home away from home

Sarah and Michael are great hosts. They responded in a timely manor to any questions or concerns we had during our visit. The house and neighborhood are so nice and quiet, with super easy/close beach access. The few neighbors we talked to are very friendly and willing answer any questions you may have. Between the provided kitchen essentials and the beach essentials you don't need to bring tons of extras. Make sure you bring beach towels, but boogie boards, beach cart and more are available. Surf City has an IGA on the island to get groceries, and there is also a small Walmart and Food Lion across the bridge. If you don't feel like doing much cooking, there are many local spots to grab a bite in Surf City. Shaka Taco and Hot Diggity Dog are just a few that we tried for a quick bite. For the little ones there is the Touch Tank Aquarium and the Sea Turtle hospital to go to. We also took time to trek to the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences in Raleigh and the Aurora Fossil Museum in Aurora, both are free and you can learn so much about the area. The science museum is great if it is a rainy day, the fossil museum has two dig pits and you will find tons of shells, shark teeth, coral, etc. This was our first time to stay in North Carolina, and will most definitely not be the last. For us Tops'l is the perfect balance of touristy bussle and quiet locals.

Will stay here again

From the beginning of booking the property owners were quick to respond and always courteous and helpful. The house was clean, and is in a great location, easily walkable to the public beach access (multiple accesses). The neighborhood was great for walking or biking and noise level was a non-issue in that area during our stay. We plan to book this house again!

Wonderful little cozy beach cottage!

My wife and two teens stayed at this nice beach house in mid-May. We had a great time. The beds were cozy and not too soft. The place was clean and had everything we needed. Walk to the beach was very close. Nice considering no bathrooms on the beach.. Neighborhood is well lit at night. The beach was perfect and sandy. Kids had their own TV with nice selection of movies. Lots of extra pillows and blankets. Very nice owners who were very responsive. We will be back!!!
